SINGH, Swati; UPADHYAYA, Vaishali; AGARWAL, Rajat  and  GUJRAL, Ratni B.. Rare case of solitary plasmacytoma of the skull in a young male patient. S. Afr. J. radiol. (Online) [online]. 2017, vol.21, n.1, pp.1-4. ISSN 2078-6778.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/sajr.v21i1.1133.

Solitary plasmacytoma of bone without signs of multiple myeloma is a rare entity. It usually presents as an osteolytic lesion in the axial skeleton of an elderly patient. Here, we report a case of solitary plasmacytoma in the skull of a young male patient which emphasises the need to consider it in the differential diagnosis of a destructive calvarial mass lesion even in this age group.
